Smart tools for preventing building collapse

An eyewitness in one of the recent building collapses in Abuja told our correspondent on the phone that they had detected the cracked portions of the building days before the eventual collapse but lacked the needed preventive skills to avert the strategy.

Traditional methods of detecting building collapse rely on visual inspections and manual monitoring, which can be time-consuming and ineffective.

However, with the advent of smart technologies, it is now possible to detect building collapse more accurately and efficiently.

Smart sensors and IoT devices can be installed in buildings to monitor various parameters, such as structural integrity, soil settlement, and environmental factors.
